Interestingly, in Greek, you could say "rains" to indicate "it is raining"; as an alternative, you could say "Zeus rains"; so you could say that "he" is implicit in Greek "rains". Note that in Greek personal pronouns can be left out at any time if they are subjects.

Has this ever happened to you: You write a question, include a list or two in the discussion, and then come back to edit that list because the order doesn't sound "right"? Off the top of my head, I can remember it happening to me twice here on English L&U: I changed God, man, and nature to r...

In morphology and syntax, a clitic is a morpheme that is grammatically independent, but phonologically dependent on another word or phrase.[http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsACliticGrammar.htm SIL Glossary of Linguistic Terms: What is a clitic?]
It is pronounced like an affix, but works at the phrase level.
Clitics may belong to any grammatical category, though they are commonly pronouns, determiners, or adpositions.
Note that orthography is not a good guide for identifying clitics: clitics may be written as independent words, bound affixes, or separated by ...

I detach all the dbs that were exported and attach them to a sandboxed db.
Step 2 did not run.
